Challenges and Opportunities
The smartphone industry was created in 1992 when IBM created Simon Personal
Communicator. 15 years later, Apple created the iPhone sparking a revolution
throughout the world...

3. INDIA
ECONOMY
Sectors of Indian Economy
Primary, Secondary and Tertiary
Primary = Agriculture related
Secondary = Industry related
Tertiary = Service related
Sector share towards GDP : Tertiary (60%)>
Secondary (28%)> Primary(12%).
Sector share by working force : Primary (51%)>
Tertiary (27%) > Secondary (22%)>
We skipped our Secondary
Sector, where Europe, U.K &
U.S developed ahead...

4. Smartphone Manufacturing: The Challenge
Infrastructure
3 most important components of
manufacturing a phone are chipset,
memory and display, of which the
first two require high- end
technology, uninterrupted water and
electricity supply to run the
automated machines in a closed
and vacuumed environment.
Currently, only parts like batteries,
chargers, packaging materials etc
are locally sourced. Limited Test
Laboratories for testing and
certification for SAR, EMI/EMC.
Skilled WorkForce
India’s domestic mobile handset
manufacturers remain largely
reliant upon the innovations and
standards set up by the
international players and
organizations
>>Processor, Display & RF Design
>>Lack of Universal Standards
>>High Consulting, IP & Licensing
fees for existing ecosystem
>>Very expensive for #startups
Investment on R&D
Carrier Aggregation Complexity:
4G & 5G to work together
Power Management Challenges:
Making everything to operate in
low power
Adjusting the Pace of Innovation:
The progress to bigger screens,
faster processors, higher-res
cameras and bigger storage
capacities are all but expected.
India has graduated from a SKD (Semi Knocked-Down)-type manufacturing, to CKD (Completely
Knocked-Down)

market growth
More than 89% of cameras in India
are manufactured by Sony and
screens are manufactured by LG or
Samsung

8. Smartphone Manufacturing: The Opportunity
FDI & Investment
PLI Scheme
‘Make in India’ is
expected to create 100
million new jobs by 2022
in the manufacturing
sector alone, and
account for 25% of the
country’s GDP by 2022.

● Wireless Charging
● Flexible Screens
● PaperTab
● Depth-Sensing Cameras
● Multi-Screen Capabilities
● Dual Recording
● Infrared Support
With more than 1 billion smartphone users
worldwide, it’s not surprising to see that
manufacturers are doing their best to come up
with even more tech innovations for the mobile
phone market.
Smartphone Industry, backed by the government is set to produce as many
as 50,000 direct jobs soon...
The Indian mobile components
manufacturing and assembly
market was worth US$ 30.8
Billion in 2019. Mobile phones are
made with a combination of
different parts and components
including a circuit board,
microphone, display, speaker, sim
card holder, buzzer, vibrator,
monitor battery, antenna, etc.

9. 5G & RISC-V
SMARTPHONE FUTURE

10. 5G Hardware
5G can become a catalyst for
innovation across various
technologies like industrial adoption of
Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial
Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning,
and Augmented Reality (AR).
5G Network
This will further open up new
channels for business growth and
development for the mobile
device industry.
